Duplicate code is one of the most pungent code smells. A rule that is often used is to re-structure code once it is duplicated in three or more places.
Common duplication problems, and corresponding solutions are:

This check marks variable names that have not been written in camelCase.
In camelCase names are written without any punctuation, the start of each new word being marked by a capital letter. Thus the name database connection string becomes
databaseConnectionString.
